Dear List,
To show you what kind of person Bob Evans really is here is an example you can check out for yourself. Bob took it upon himself not only to use NWA numbers we reserved and paid for the study of, he is actually copying our descriptions, word-for-word. Bob, these descriptions are the property of Meteoritelab, come up with your own DESCRIPTIONS!
Our Description and ebay link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3239&item=2268563957
NWA 1877, 850mg fragment of the second "Olivine Diogenite" in private
hands,
found 2003 in Northwest Africa. A weight of only 312 grams is recorded
for
this find. NWA 1459 the only other Olivine Diogenite available to the public weighed a mere 49 grams. After cutting losses and type specimen deposits there is less than 220 grams of this material left in private
hands
including NWA 1459. This material is believed to represent the deepest sample, yet recovered, from the asteroid Vesta. A great deal of time was spent preparing this material. We used a penetrant stabilizer before polishing even begun to prevent the large crystals from being plucked
during
polishing. This is important because the crystals have cleavages that are easily fractured during preparation. No less than 10 polishing steps on a diamond lap was needed to take these specimens to a 3,500 grit polish, something you do not see everyday. This material is rarer than a Brachinite, a Chassignite or even a Lodranite. Even though this is number two, it still represents the rarest of all classifications in private
hands,
there is nothing rarer!
Bobs stolen description and link to auction:

Not only is using NWA numbers that do not match his pieces he has stolen several other descriptions and ideas from us, he is a complete fraud.
Check
out his other auctions and compare.
All the best,
